NFL Colts vs Texans preview

[dw49]

Strange that the line went from Colts-1 to Colts +2. Seems with that injury report , the line should have gone back down ?

[lollygagger8]

Here's hoping Colts have TE's chipping on Anderson to help out if things get sideways for Smith. 

 

I want to see this running game take off with Moss (here's hoping) 

 

And I wanna see some sacks on Stroud from the law offices of Buckner & Stewart!!

Steichen said he would let the injury report speak for itself as far as injuries. Usually when a coach says that something bad happened in practice.lol

 Wishing is for fishing but I sure hope 🙏 Ogletree gets a lot of healthy playing time. No Mac and not much Granson works for me.

No. Apparently not serious since he doesn’t have a designation.

Quenton Nelson questionable, Zack Moss set to play for Colts

 

...News about left guard Quenton Nelson isn’t quite as positive. Nelson is listed as questionable due to a toe injury that kept him out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He was able to return as a limited participant on Friday, however...

Did he get knocked around during their game? Is there something to it or is it a Belichick move?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I would rather play Stroud then Mills.

Probably during practice 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Bad Oline. No safeties. I like our chances.

[1959Colts]

Stroud, Tunsil and Hewitt are questionable

Would be disappointing though if we didn’t get to see the rookies play against each other.

[RollerColt]

Oh my gosh Texans… that’s a really bad looking injury report…

Stroud will play

Y’know, I looked up predictions for this game, and nobody made the huge point that Houston’s OL is critically unhealthy right now.  They lost their staring RT (Fant) during the game Sunday, and he was their highest rated OL.  They’re likely shifting Josh Jones, who’s been on the team for 3 weeks and started at LG Sunday, to RT for our game.  And a player who only played ST last year will start at LG…

 

I don’t like their chances of doing anything on offense if Buckner, Zaire, Grover, and Shaqius Leonard are dominating them…

I expect our front to be dominate. hopefully Ebuakam gets some pressure this game against a depleted unit

I hope he plays.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With their Oline injuries it won’t surprise me if he doesn’t play.

If we had to, just give McAfee a one game check.

give it the old college try

I fear the "sucker bet" may be in play

If Stroud does not play it will be due to HIS health.

Agreed. It’s the first home game for Houston. I think he’s going to want to play.

He has a hurt shoulder but don’t be fooled if they think that beat up Oline might be bad they could sit him out since he has a bad shoulder. But he probably plays with it being the home opener.

I agree to no Mac, I would like too see more TEs involved in a high passing game. Why not so much of Granson?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Kylen Granson has been added to the injury report as questionable with a hamstring.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ogletree had his status removed so he will be able to play. Hope this doesn’t mean Nelson won’t be able to go,

Yeah. The addition of Hambright makes me think maybe no Nelson?

and Granson with a hamstring? How did he get hurt? Walking onto the airplane? we may really need Ogletree then (or at least keep Will Mallory active) 

Oh well, next man up!

Could just be insurance in case it gets worse during the game. Excited to see what Mallory can do.

Quenton Nelson Out for Texans?

The Indianapolis Colts made a roster move on Saturday that may have tipped their hands regarding Quenton Nelson.

 

...On Saturday afternoon, the Colts may have tipped their hands on Nelson's status by elevating guard Arlington Hambright from the practice squad to Sunday's 48-man active roster...

...While the promotion of Hambright could be unrelated to the status of Nelson, it certainly casts even more doubt on the five-time Pro Bowler's availability on Sunday in Houston...

Let’s hope it’s just insurance.  Nelson did finish the game last week.  I think we elevated an OL last week too.
